Terrorist in Nice Truck Attack Was City Resident of Tunisian Origin

The driver of the truck that killed at least 80 people in Nice on Thursday evening was a 31-year-old resident born in Tunisia, according to French newspaper Nice Matin.

"Investigations are currently under way to establish if the individual acted alone or if he had accomplices who might have fled," Brandet said.


Heavy weapons and grenades were found inside the truck.

French newspaper Le Figaro reports that driver fired at the crowd as he drove.

While the terrorist group Daesh, also known as IS/ISIL, has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack, it is a likely suspect.

Yes, he acted alone. Right before he took off, he did a Grand Invocation to Inanna to conjure up the grenades and firearms and ammunition he desired.
